Lane Co. Home and Garden Show by Garde Wells On Thursday, March 12 at 6 pm, the Lane County Home and Garden Show will come on strong. “For the first time in the last eight years, there will be just one Spring Home and Garden Show,” explains Helen Berg, who produces the show (hat the Home Builders Association of Lane Coun ty sponsors. Just who are the Home Builders Association of Lane County? “The Home Builders Association is a voice for the building industry . . . because they’re all mostly independent con tractors,” says Berg. The Home and Garden Show his torically draws 30-40,000 peo ple over the weekend, according to promoter Berg—that’s more than dou ble what the average turnout was before 1983, which was when the Home Show’s admission fee went out the window. The free show will go for two evenings and two days at the Con vention Center on West 13th Avenue. What can one expect at this event? Over 200 exhibitions—including de corating, draperies, floor coverings, weatherization, heating and air con ditioning, indoor landscaping, prom and bridal fashions—you name it. “We have all kinds of things in there,” says Berg, “I have financial people in there, some of the stock brokers and insurance people ... this is a good time for them with IRA planning.” One exhibit sure to be popular is Oregon Yurt Works. According to Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, a yurt is “a circular domed tent of skins or felt stretched over a collapsible lat tice framework and used by the Kir ghiz and other Mongol nomads of Siberia.” Along with an actual yurt in the Fairgrounds Convention Center, Oregon Yurt Works plans to have ac tual landscaping—complete with grass, shrubbery and waterfalls, all by Teller Landscaping. Merchants who represent them selves at the Home & Garden Show normally give out coupons, or have special rates for their products and services. “We get a lot of the do-it-yourself type people coming to the show and so a lot of what the exhibitors do gear toward that,” Berg says. Galyn Forster of Inside & Out Painting will be at his booth in his coveralls and with his buckets of paint. Baby World Diaper Service will have a changing and nursing room for parents. “The builders are very popular at the show,” says Helen Berg. Honn Design & Construction, Ellison & Platz Construction, Jerry Carlin Con struction, AAA Plus Construction, Pacific Cascade Real Log Homes, Sy nergistic Construction, and David Zar zycki General Contractor are some of the builders that will have exhibits. Mrs. Oregon, who is Kathy Mar tin, and Karen Houle, who is Miss Lane County, will both be on hand Saturday and Sunday for all you auto graph hounds. Lane Community College will pre view many of their Adult Education Courses at one display; Pacific Coast Publishing will again offer copies of their telephone book at their booth. Some of the workshops that show goers can see onstage at the show are: “Salsa from Canned Tomatoes” and “Dried Foods for Back Packing and Camping,” both by the OSU/Lane County Extension Service; and "FUTONS S FRAMES * Bed Frames and Couch Frames starting at $95 _Futons starting at $85_ Coupon worth $10 off towards purchase of any futon, frame or combination. ^ 935-7348 One coupon per customer.
